  • Cities in the Sky: Elevating Singapore's Urban Spaces Swinal Samant†
    International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 137-154 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.137 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Cities in the Sky: Elevating Singapore's Urban Spaces Swinal Samant† Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore, Singapore Abstract Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky- gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land.

  • Jubilee Walk Marks Key Milestones of Our Nation-Building and Is a Lasting Physical Legacy of Our Golden Jubilee Celebrations
    Launched in 2015 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, the Jubilee Walk marks key milestones of our nation-building and is a lasting physical legacy of our Golden Jubilee celebrations. It is a collaborative effort across various agencies, including Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, National Heritage Board, National Parks Board and Urban Redevelopment Authority. JUBILEE In celebration of WALK 1 INTRODUCTION The story of Singapore and her people has always been one of resilience amid change. From the early pioneers who came to make a living, to later generations who overcame the war and struggled to build a modern, sovereign nation, Singapore’s success over the past 50 years owes much to the indomitable spirit, fortitude and resourcefulness of her people. National Day Parade, 2015 This national resilience continues to be a hallmark of independent Singapore. It has allowed the nation to weather periods of crisis, defend and strengthen herself on all fronts, and for her people to work together to transform the island into a global hub for commerce and culture. Today, this same Singapore spirit is driving a new phase of development as the nation strives to create a liveable and sustainable city; a home like no other with ample room to grow and opportunities for different communities to fl ourish and build a better future together. This collective resilience, which defi nes Singapore’s journey from 14th century trading hub, to colonial port to independent nation and global city, is the theme of the Jubilee Walk. Created in 2015 to mark Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, the Jubilee Walk is a specially curated trail of iconic locations that recall Singapore’s historic beginnings, her path towards nationhood, and show the way forward to Singapore’s present and future as a global city.
